Hunting? Both have their advantages and disadvantages. I'm thinking of going bow hunting this year with my Uncle along with my long rifle. Just for the experience.
[Again, talking out my ass] My view on B&A or whatever... A weapon is a weapon, I'd want it to be a weapon capable of defense or offence. If a confrontation happened between someone wanting my stuff (any of the 4Bs) and I had to defend my life, I wouldn't want to have to switch weapons to do that. I'd want to be able to hunt to kill or shoot to kill with whatever weapon I had in my hands at that moment. 'Cause of Hollywood has taught us anything is that the gun fights in movies have no indication of what happens IRL.
[Massively talking out my ass as I've never seen real combat or had to defend myself] You would think it would come down to, "Hey, I see someone. OH SHIT they are armed and I don't know them. SHIT THEY SAW ME!" Then you either shoot to kill, get shot at or run. No extended gun battles, no GTA style "hold on let me switch from my hunting weapon to my close-to-mid range fighting weapon", no hollywood 10 minute gun shootouts.
Then again, I'm a Civvie and I'm Not A Geinus (tm). I don't know jack.
